Another MSNBC interview failure

Just watched Boris - the drumph today babbling on for ever while avoiding the question re drumph paying taxes.

She asks him if he is paying federal taxes and sits quiet while he craps on and on about lawyers and accountants and following the tax code.

Then she moves on without asking him to prove he's being audited. Show the letter stupid. Ask for a copy.

WTF?

These people are hopeless reporters.

He's getting away with this major lie every day.

Just show the actual IRS letter, then the taxes.

Anyway he gets hammered by not coughing up the tax returns. We know he cheats and lies to avoid paying.

5. Yes it needs to be repeated. I've heard it a little here and there but since he keeps using it

as an excuse, they need to drive it home with an ad. Everything Hillary said last night about his taxes could fit into an ad.

Hmm, maybe there is one already. I seem to remember "what is he hiding" and I don't watch any of the news shows.

that to all but the most biased or clueless observer, Boris' repetition of the phrase "he follows all the rules and laws" instead of actually saying "yes, he pays income taxes" was a clear and unambiguous admission that he does not pay income tax. I loved it!
